I'm not a pro but have played and recorded in professional studios before with bands, and have recorded bands in the past. I bought this to get back into home recording for myself as a songwriter.
Years ago I worked with two different models of Presonus interfaces. They did the job, but they were totally outdated and I needed to upgrade and for modern compatibility with my M1 MacBook. I found them fiddly to use and they always seemed to produce a lot of self-noise.
All I want in an interface is something easy to setup and use, and get a nice clean signal into my DAW. The iD14 MKII does it really well. My favourite feature is that it's powered by my Mac via USB-C. As somebody who values being able to lay down tracks quickly, and from any part of my home, I can basically grab a mic, the interface, and plug it straight in to begin recording.
I'm also really impressed by how quiet it is. Compared to the old Presonus interfaces it's night and day. That's not to say the other brand is bad, only that things have come along way in terms of quality over the past few years.
The build quality seems fairly good, however the large knob on the right hand side seems to wobble a little compared to the other two gain controls which are excellent and sturdy. My only concern is that it leads to faults, but I am going to reach out to Audient to understand better.
Overall, I'm please with everything so far. It's a good solid interface for the home.
